Abstract
In a display device, a display member for displaying information as an image receives a light from a light source arranged behind and is illuminated by the light. A decorative member is arranged on the front surface of the display member to partly cover the display member. The decorative member is illuminated by the light passing through the display member. The decorative member rises from the front surface of the display member and illuminates, thereby providing an enhanced three-dimensional appearance.
